Physics

Scientific paper

The Accretion-Ejection Instability has been proposed to explain the ubiquitous'' low frequency QPO of microquasars. This instability which occurs in the inner region of moderately magnetized disks has the the unique property that it can send toward the corona the energy and angular momemtum from the disk. I will present recent results on the physics of the instability and comparison with observations. In particular I will describe how it generates Alfven waves propagating the energy and angular momentum to the corona.
